This past weekend, Heatwave Music Fest<\/a> put on its debut festival in Chicago.\u00a0<\/span>In the heart of Douglass Park, EDM acts from across the country flew made the pilgrimage to the birthplace of house music for a two-day, bass-pumping music festival. 48 hours full of music, food, art, and drinks, patrons welcomed Heatwave to Chicago with open arms and hearts as a crowded Douglass Park experienced the freshest fest to grace the Second Best City in the World<\/a>. I’m fairly new to the festival game, but the experience is not a feeling I will soon forget.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

My only suggestions for next year? Bring some ear plugs and get ready to feel your bones shaking with the music.<\/span><\/p>\n

With a trio of stages\u2014the Reverie, the Inevitable, and the Radiance\u2014fest goers had the opportunity to dive into not one, but three different themes for the weekend. Each stage and corresponding section of the park were donned in contemporary pop-art, bridging the gap between electronic music and other styles of new-age art. Across Douglass Park, you could find modern pieces like oversized, inflatable rubber ducks to chill by, eclectic statues of your favorite characters like Superman and a StormTrooper, and even live art that was completed mid-fest by artist <\/span>Pretty Done<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
